He specializes in the trial of complex, multi-party business disputes, professional liability and product liability claims at the trial and appellate levels. He has represented numerous individuals, corporations, developers, and financial and educational institutions in matters of substantial significance - either in terms of the amounts at stake, or based on concerns such as adverse publicity. He also advises and represents individuals in domestic relations matters including divorce and separation, property settlements, alimony and child support, child custody and visitation, and pre-marital and post-marital agreements.

In addition to his extensive experience in state and federal trial courts, Ed has represented clients in more than 100 appeals in numerous subject areas including partnership disputes, civil rights and civil liberties, housing discrimination, domestic relations, insurance coverage, product liability, employment, municipal liability, and shareholder disputes.
